A Christmas Killing.

John ID. Hawkins was shot and
killed by Joe Webb, at the home of
the latter in the northern part of this
county, last Sunday. Webb, who is
a younger man than Hawkins, was
married to Hawkins mother several
months ago. Hawkins was opposed
to the match, and the difficulty which
cost him his life grew out Of this i'll
feeling. Hawkins was considerably
under the influence of liquor when
he was shot, and was endeavoring to
attack Webb with a knife. Webb
went to Woodbury. on Monday and
secured Mr.. Jas. Cummings as coun-
sci, with whom he came to McMinn-
vile and surrendered himself to the
authorities. He had a preliminary
trial before r. II. Mason, Esq, Tues
day, and was placed under a $4,000
bond for his appearance at Circuit
Court.
Hawkins leaves a wife and two
children.

Mr.. Isaac Grizzle and son Bob were
here one day last week. The senior
was as full of life as 20 year old.
Mr.. Joe Webb shot and killed his
step-son, j. d. Hawkins, Sunday
evening, at his own house. 1t is re-
ported that the killing was done in
self defense. The parties, as is so
often the case, were under the infiu-
encc of liquor. How sad for the
mother to stand by and see her hus-
band shoot her own son.
Mrs. Prussia Sparkman, who was
reported sick last week, passed
quietly away Friday morning the
23rd, in her seventy-fifth year.
Mrs. John Mitchell has gone to meet

Caney Branch Sunday School has
been in perfect jubilee over the
Christmas festivities. We feel that it
is our duty to compliment the young
ladies of this neighborhood for the
tasteful and beautiful manner in
which they decorated the school
house on Christmas eve. The arbor
that contained the presents to be dis
tributed, was beautifully ornamented
with evergreens and flowers. After
the house was illuminated speaking

Gods, with great terrifying heads. appear

Three or four Hndoos are there. on
guard; young men scantily clad in short
cotton drawers, with hair like a girls
falling to their shoulders: they have saw
age aspect and the white of their eyes re-
sembles enamel Their faces are hand
some and their cheeks are beardless: but
on their round bosoms grows a disgusting
black fur; their appearance is astonishing
and repelling; we might imagine that they
were part woman, part monkey and part
wild beast.
There. although in close proximity to
gods, they talk and laugh as If the divfni-
ties were their boon companions. One Of
them takes an arnful of jessamine flow
ers, strung together as garland, and
crosses the court beneath the roseate
moon. He goes to a small solitary
chapel, where stands an idol which seems
more ancient than any of the others 1t
is divinity with six arms, high head
dress and big glass eyes of a ferocious as
pect. He is there alone, small lamp
that through respect has been lighted in
front of him being his only company.
Without even casting a look upon the
god, the youth places his jessamine flow
ers in dish on the floor. just as one
would put food before beast.-Singapore
